Amazingly, the only comprehensive overview of
Boyd's 1951-1959 Chess stint available on CD. Both "Third Degree" and "24 Hours" are aboard this 20-track compilation, along with the lesser-known standouts "I Got the Blues," "Nothing but Trouble," and "Cool Kind Treatment."
Boyd's sturdy, concise piano work and darkly introspective vocals were brilliantly captured on tape by
Leonard Chess, even if the two weren't exactly the best of pals.
